Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a U.S. Representative from New Mexico, used her social media account on November 11, 2025 to comment on ongoing legislative efforts regarding healthcare and compensation related to the January 6 events.

In a post made at 21:07 UTC, Rep. Leger Fernández stated, "Headed to Rules to stop Jan. 6 payouts for senators and fight for your healthcare. Outrageous. Tune in. 6:30 PM ET."

Later that evening at 23:10 UTC, she posted another message referencing a different statement with "What he said ".

Shortly after, at 23:47 UTC, she called attention to proceedings in the House Rules Committee by posting, "Tune into the House Rules Committee now. We’re giving Republicans one last shot to save Americans from skyrocketing tax credits. We won’t stop fighting."

Leger Fernández has represented New Mexico in Congress since winning election in 2020. She defeated Alexis Martinez Johnson in both the 2020 and 2022 general elections with margins of approximately 58% to 41%. In the most recent general election held in 2024, she faced Sharon Clahchischilliage and won by a smaller margin (41.8% to Clahchischilliage's 43.7%), reflecting changes in electoral dynamics over recent cycles.

Her recent statements come amid ongoing debates about federal responses to January 6 and proposed adjustments to tax credits impacting American families.
